I ordered a carpet mat set from them, that I am quite happy with. My only
complaint is that the carpet was backordered, and they charged my credit card
immediately upon order - but it took a number of weeks before I ever received
the mat set.

Of the vendors I have delt with,

I've gotten the best service from Kyle of volksmotorsports,
Ron Salmon of the Bus Depot is a very close second,

On an aside, I've received very poor serive from West coast metric lately.
